So even though it is Saturday, I'm linking up with Doodle Bug Teaching for Five for Friday (two week edition).
1. Testing, Testing, Testing
We took our End of Grade Tests this week. Reading was Tuesday, math was Wednesday, and science was Friday. For the most part, my students worked really hard on their tests and I'm extremely proud of their hard work. Unfortunately we won't find out how well they did until October. Fortunately I don't have to see the disappointed faces when delivering bad news of any students who may not have passed.
Now testing is over and its time to have some fun and enjoy the last two weeks of school.
2. Puzzles
After testing each year I always pull out some puzzles. This year was no different. I pulled out the puzzles yesterday afternoon. This one is a compilation of all the Disney villians. There were about 6 kids working on it and they loved it. Unfortunately we will be working on this puzzle blind, I can't find the picture of the puzzle so it may be a little difficult. I love doing puzzles so I love sharing this love with my students.
3. End of School Year Activities
This week my team and I planned the end of year activities for our fifth graders. Activities include staff vs. fifth grade soccer game, fifth grade dance, talent show, and fifth grade promotion ceremony. There are a few other activities but thankfully my team isn't in charge of those.
4. Mother's Day Weekend
I know this was two weeks ago but I wanted to share my weekend with my mom. This yearwas the first ttime in about 10 years that I spent Mother's Day with my mom. It was an amazing weekend and I'm glad she was able to come visit me that weekend. I don't get see her as much as I'd like to so any time I get to spend with her I
is great. Here's a picture of my mom and I when I was 4 years old.
5. Now for the best news of the week...
My principal has been working on grade level placements for next year. And I'm finally getting my preference. I'll be teaching 3rd grade next year and I'm extremely excited about it. I already have so much floating around in my head that I want to do next year. I've learned a lot while teaching fifth the last four years but my heart is truly in third and I'm happy to be returning.
Well that's my Friday five. I'm ready to enjoy the long weekend and then the final 9 days of the school year. Don't forget to stop by Doodle Bug Teaching to link up.
